I am trying to install build essential packages on Amazon EC2 instance having Ubuntu 14.04. It doesn't have some essential packages which comes in normal Ubuntu desktop edition.Every time I try to install any package with command sudo apt-get -f install build-essential, I am getting same dependency error. I was trying to install perl modules required for my application. I might have messed up with package manager by trying some commands such as clean. Why build essentials requires perl? Is my package repository corrupted. Can I start from fresh or any other solution? Thanks in advance.
